"MLB Tonight" Slider Experience
Hello Everybody, I am Dynasty Legend 99. I've been a veteran of MLB The Show since the days of 989's MLB 2005. I've spent years of using other slider sets and tweaking to my needs as well as mixing and matching what works well. This year I believe I've found a great combination of fun and realism (A necessity if you play 162 games like me).
First off let me start by saying that these sliders are geared towards those who are Elite at pitching, Above Average at Fielding, however slightly below average at Hitting. I feel like CPU pitching has really gotten good this year, especially with the addition of a couple NEW Sliders (We'll get into that). One thing that I cannot stress enough is to WORK THE COUNT
I want to thank Mike Lowe, Armor and Sword, as well as WaitTillNextYear for Inspiration not this set as all the testing and sliders from past years have really helped me construct this set.
GENERAL
Strike Zone: OFF
Hot Zones: OFF
Warm Up Relievers: ON (To Simulate real life)

Post Game Auto Save: User Preference, however for those who use 30 team control, I recommend OFF.
Scorebar Display: ON
Pitch Select Display: ON (I wish we could move it though)
Swing/Pitch Info: OFF
Balks: ON (Take your time on the mound, there is no clock on this game)

Check Swing Appeals: ON
Injuries: ON
Ejections: ON
Vibration: ON
Game Log Order: Default
Batting and Baserunning
Hitting Difficulty: DYNAMIC (To Ensure that Everyone hits on a difficulty that fits them. Playing on a High or Low Difficulty will nerd numbers to an unrealistic realm)
Hitting Interface: Directional (So that individual player tendencies and strengths come out when hitting)
Input Type: Buttons
Camera Shift: ON (To simulate the actual Focus on that side of the plate)
Hitting View: CUSTOM (Fisheye but down a few inches)
In-Play View Offense: MEDIUM (Best Way to judge a fly ball off the bat, also being a good way to see how big the outfield really is)
Guess Pitch: OFF (This a crutch, with Guess Pitch you never will be able to master hitting on any level)

Runner Windows: ON
PITCHING

Fielding

Throwing Meter: ON
Throwing Difficulty: Legend (This is the Bigs, I feel this is the most challenging and rewarding difficulty that provides enough realism)
Fielding Decision: Assist

In-Play View Defense: Medium
Throw Cancelling: ON (I love this feature, really allows you to have more control on defense as long as you're not spamming the throw button)
One Button Dive Jump: OFF
Catch Position Indicator: ON
Defensive Shift: Manual (Doing this manually really allows you to become a full fledged manager and makes defense come to life in game)

Feel free to Post Box Scores below if you want to try out this set. I haven't had a self created set that's worked this well in years.
Always remember to tweak to your preference, staying in a slider set because you feel that one little change will ruin the entire enterprise is a one way trip to MLB THE SHOW Misery.
So sit back, and Play Ball!
